🎈 Balloons Mod for Minecraft

Take to the skies with the Balloons Mod!
This mod introduces colorful, physics-based balloons that let you and any creature in Minecraft gently float away. Say goodbye to fall damage and hello to serene, lighter-than-air travel.

✨ Features

Float Away!
Right-click with a balloon in hand to spawn one and attach it to yourself. The more balloons you hold, the more lift you get.
Universal Leashing
Attach balloons to any mob in the game, from the humblest chicken to the mighty Ender Dragon. Simply have balloons attached to yourself and right-click a mob to transfer them.
Vast Advancement System
Discover and complete over 70 unique advancements in a dedicated Balloons advancement tab. Can you attach a balloon to every mob in the game?
Gentle Descent
Holding balloons negates fall damage, allowing you to leap from the highest mountains without fear.
Tie Them Down
Secure your balloons by right-clicking on any fence post. They will bob gently in the wind, adding a touch of color to your builds.
Realistic Physics
Balloons sway, bob, and push each other dynamically for a visually pleasing effect.
Pop!
Balloons will pop if attacked or if you float too high into the atmosphere.
Fully Configurable
Adjust lift strength, gravity effects, and more via the in-game config menu.
